Dead & Beautiful

Vampirism has always been a moral parable about the wealthy, and sometimes the old (i.e. Eternal life) feeding on the poor and the young.

So, to recap, this is a painfully obvious, lame "social experiment" about a bunch of bored narcissists and sociopaths with more money than sense to see how far they'll degrade into violence and cruelty if they imagine they're vampires.

What is new about this? Aside from the global cast (three Asian people and two Europeans) and the 21st century backdrop this is the same old story rehashed for a new generation. In fact, it's worse than that, because it's just so obvious unless you're a kid or slow on the uptake.

I strongly believe that what was intended here is innovative. This is not your everyday vampire movie, but just because the plot-twist is anything but exciting or mind-blowing.

I can tell that they tried to accomplish some sort of artistic photography, which resulted in the best factor of this film. However, the story is flat, boring and its photography just can't carry the whole film; in fact, it reminded me a lot of Neon Demon and rather interested me into rewatching that movie, which I could definitely say is not among my favorites.

....for them to stream this steaming pile of crap. This is the Seinfeld film of vampires because it's a film about nothing, as in nothing happens. Absolutely nothing.

For Taiwan product, this totally a bad one. For the past 10 TV movies I had watched, this one is the worst. Horror or sci fic Taiwan has some good ones but this one just poorly produced. I can tell it targets to sell internationally, but just fail.

This is one of those movies where you read the synopsis and feel, oh it should be a good one. But , I was really disappointed in it after watching this yesterday on Shudder. It's got everything, good looking actors, a decent budget, a story which could've been better on screen but all falls flat. No action, No thrill, No horror,bland screenplay ruins it and makes it almost unwatchable.

Nothing more to say about this , different take on the Vampire genre whichever never feels different.
